Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95

Anyone got a chance to compare modded xa5400 and Oppo 95 units? How would you define the overall sound character of the two? I am using Merlin speakers with ARS filarmonia amplifier. I like to listen Jazz and Classical mainly. Would like to have a great resolution, vocal clarity, focused sound stage and full bodied presentation (..of Piano and string instruments).
Not looking for comparison between stock and modded units.
Please help me decide between the two. Thanks.

Newbie question. I'm currently thinking of getting an Oppo 95 and came across this thread. What are these "modifications" being discussed here? From what I can understand Dan from Modwright does some mods to Sony 5400 and Oppo 95 and they are marvelous.

How do I get these "mods" from Dan?
What is the cost?

Any break in time with mod by Modwright? Stock Oppo takes forever to break in (currently at 250 hr) and I seriously hope I don't have to go through that process again.

How is Modwright 105 SPDIF inputs (use as standalone dac)? I assume most of you are using it as CD player or through a flash drive.
